Raptor News Update

No industry is safe! >

What about the video game industry? That would cause quite the paradox.

If they are too subtle, many people won't get the jokes. :troll: But okay, honestly, I wouldn't even have gotten the Silver Sacks one if someone here hadn't told about the gold-sacks-something, since all these foreigner stuffs are not my every-day information.

Touche, but they don't have to be this blatant about it. If you think about it, most of the satire in this game is kind of unnecessary. The Malice System itself is enough for satire.

To be explain (for those who not are not familiar with the term), you know those words that keep appearing around the city and that demonic voice that says "Daaanntttteee..."? That's the Malice system. To say that Limbo city is alive is kind of inaccurate since it's not really alive, more like something is tearing the city apart to get to Dante.

That in itself is enough to provide satire on the workings of the public sector and the idiocracy of the public. The whole "big wigs are demons" thing is kind of cliche, but to say that an entire underlying force controls the city (while also being a cliche) is alot more interesting because you can do so much with that. For example, aliens can control it (They Live) or the city can be an illusion brought about by a computational system created by robots (The Matrix). In this case, the city is systemized by a demonic force.

So, really, they don't need Raptor News or Bulge Burgers to make fun of Media and Food markets. They can do that by making those regrettable parts of our society a victim of a higher but invisible tyrannical force.

What I find more ironic about this whole satire thing in the game is it completely relates to CAPCOM itself! Huge greedy company wanting more money and producing quantity over quality products. I am not trying to say this game sucks for doing that but F*ck man, I'm not a mindless sheep either! So, I think I agree with you, they need to slow down.

No, not really. NT had already said in a couple of interviews that the city is controlled by a system called Malice. The Malice system is what causes the city to come to life. The black stuff that bleeds from the city and creates the demons we face are all a part of Malice.

And Capcom would look back on this and say, "Hey, what a second!"

You're welcome...

You're welcome...

Was it you who was telling about it? Thank you, then. (And also sorry that I couldn't remember; here are so many people and so many threads, can't remember them all).
